I really like the summary page also, but don't visit it much either. I would miss its nice overview of everything, but could live without it, I suppose. It would be more useful to have a "summary panel" that could - optionally - remain open beside the viewed component to allow an overview of the day's appointments and tasks. I know that doesn't reduce complexity, but that's my 2c worth. > * Ettore just beat me to another request, arbitrary order for the > folders, rather than hard-coded alphabetical order. my default mail > account is always towards the bottom of the nav bar because of the > alphabetical ordering. this is also an irritation w/ vfolders, you > create them because you want easy to use/prominent > sorting/reordering/aggregation, and then they get stuck down at the > bottom of the nav bar. That is exactly what I use the "Shortcuts" panel for. I only include items (folders, vfolders) that I use on a regular basis (basically, calendar, tasks, contacts, IMAP Inbox, and vfolders). The "folder list" is useless to me, as I only use other folders for archiving emails, not for "daily use" items. I personally would miss the shortcut panel a lot.
